            Notes</a></p>
          <h2><a name="howitworks"></a>How Reserve Items Work</h2>
          <p>After you add an item to your class, you may edit all of the information
            associated with the item (author, title, etc.) and add notes to the
            item that will display to students in the class. Your reserve list
            is yours to edit as you wish. The changes that you make will not
            affect any other instructor's class, even if they are using the same
            items. When the class is over, your reserve list will be archived
            just as it appears at the end of the semester. When you reactivate
            the class the next time you teach it, your reserve items and notes
            will appear exactly as you left them.</p>
          <h2><a name="editing"></a>Editing Item Information</h2>
          <p>To edit information about your reserve items from the &quot;Edit Class&quot;
            screen, click on the &quot;edit&quot; link that appears to the right of the
            item. This will take you to the &quot;Edit Item&quot; screen, where you have
            access to all the fields you can use to identify the item to students,
            including title, author, performer, and other standard citation information.            </p>
          <p>Some fields may have been filled in when the item was created, others
              may be blank. All of the information in these fields will display
              to your students, so it is best to describe each item in the fullest
              way so that students will be able to find and identify items quickly
              and easily.</p>
          <p>To edit item information: </p>
          <ol>
            <li>Edit the text that is in the
              box or enter new text. </li>
            <li>Click &quot;Save Changes&quot;.
                  Your changes will appear immediately and display to you on
              the &quot;Edit Class&quot; screen.</li>
          </ol>
          <h2><a name="notes"></a>Adding Notes</h2>
          <p>In addition to editing information about your reserve items, you
            may add notes that display to students in the class. For example,
            you may wish to tell students to &quot;Read this item before the second
            class meeting&quot; or to &quot;Skim the first ten pages of this reading but
            take careful notes on the last five pages.&quot;</p>
          <p>To add a note:</p>
          <ol>
            <li>Click on the &quot;Add Note&quot; button near the bottom of the &quot;Edit Item&quot;
              screen.</li>
            <li>In the pop-up window, enter the text of the note you wish to
              add. <em>NOTE: If you have a pop-up blocker enabled, you must either
              disable it or add ereerves.library.emory.edu as an &quot;allowed&quot; site
              in your browser preferences.</em></li>
            <li>Click the &quot;Add Note&quot; button in the pop-up window. Your note will
              appear on the &quot;Edit Item&quot; screen.</li>
            <li>Click &quot;Save Changes&quot; on the &quot;Edit Item &quot; screen. Your note will
              appear immediately to students.</li>
          </ol>
